On a beautifully sunny day last week we welcomed Thrive shareholders to our Dunmow solar farm in Essex ☀️ The 10MW project generates enough clean electricity to power over 4,000 average UK homes a year. #SolarPower

Our positive contribution to avoiding UK carbon emissions far outweighs our own carbon footprint 👣 However there’s always more that can be done and it's important to report on and reduce carbon emissions made during construction and operations. Explore highlights from our latest climate report 👇​

Brilliant to visit Ambition Community Energy wind turbine with Triodos Bank and see the story of the 100% community owned project in action. Thrive funded the construction of this 150m turbine which generates income for the local community in Lawrence Weston, Bristol to support local development.

2006 vs 2026–we've moved on but according to the Better Business Act, modern business law hasn't. We’re supporting their campaign to amend Section 172 of the Companies Act. This will legally require UK businesses to balance the long-term interests of people, planet, and profit @blabuk.bsky.social

Renewables generated over half of UK’s electricity last year, yet gas still sets the price most of the time. The government is now taking steps to change that. But how will it really work in practice, and who benefits? 👇 www.thriverenewables.co.uk/news/2026/04...

The government recently announced the biggest public investment into community-owned energy in the UK to date. But what does that mean in practice? We look ahead to next steps alongside others in the sector in Positive News 👇 www.positive.news/environment/... #communityenergy #renewables

What does the new £1bn investment in community energy really mean?
It’s the largest public investment in community-owned green power in the UK to date. But what exactly is being promised, and how can communities get involved?

@carbonbrief.org analysis reveals record wind and solar output avoided the need to import roughly 18 fully loaded tankers of liquified natural gas (LNG). Together, wind and solar generated 11 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity in March, up a combined 28% - a new record. #windpower #solarpower

Great to see construction progressing at Whitelaw Brae wind farm 🛠️ These photos are taken in the same spot– foundation pours started late last year and are now ready for the turbine towers. Once operational, the project will generate enough electricity to power around 45k average UK homes a year.

We need to break the fossil fuel cycle. Homegrown, local clean energy projects ensure communities benefit, not large corporates. And together have a big impact nationally – strengthening energy security and reducing UK carbon emissions.
